The Krasnovian Army Has

Changed!

11th ACR Mission

The 1 1th Armored Cavalry Regiment
conducts combat operations as the 60th
Guards Motorized Rifle Division, providing
the U.S. Army the most capable and lethal
combined-arms opposing force (OPFOR) in
the world to help brigade task forces
achieve proficiency in their mission
essential tasks, improve their ability to
synchronize and employ the combined-arms
team, and enhance their combat readiness.

• Doctrine, tactics, structure, and capabilities are specified
by the CG, TRADOC. TRADOC DCSINT verifies our
compliance semi-annually.

• We are not a Soviet-based force anymore— no dogmatic/set
patterns of operation. We are capabilities-based,
planning and employing our capabilities, based on METT-
T analysis, within OPFOR doctrine. Consequently, we are
more unpredictable to BLUFOR, placing a premium on
pattern analysis, detailed IPB, reconnaissance &
surveillance operations, and the science and art of battle
command.

• We have become more relevant through an expanding
array of asymmetrical capabilities we bring to the
battlefield.

forces within traditional correlation of forces.

• Understands and conducts asymmetric warfare

• Adept at offensive information warfare at the tactical level

The Key to
ustaining a Relevant
OPFOR

CENTER

Lead-Train-Win

Fighting
Force XXI

• The key to defeating a Force XXI-equipped
force is to quickly gain information dominance;
focus lookers/ shooters to find and
disrupt/destroy critical communication
nodes/digital nets, e.g. attack FM single-channel,
digital FBCB2/Fire Support nets, MSE node
centers, etc. Electronically shape the battlefield

* Active and passive force protection measures
are vital to preserving combat power against
Force XXI technologies— Serb analog— thermal
eception, dispersion, decoys, camouflage,
ncealment, electronic deception.

What We've Learned

Continued...

• Force XXI intelligence architecture/ overhead
systems are inherently vulnerable to deception:
satellites, JSTARS, GUARDRAIL, UAV, etc., and the
problem is compounded by the absence of a
robust, effective HUMINT capability throughout
the depths of the brigade commander's battle
space.

* Well-trained HUMINT observers (reconnaissance
teams) positioned throughout the depths of the
battlefield, with effective, secure communications,
offset the asymmetric advantages of Force XXI
rhead intelligence technologies.

Lead -Train -Win

• The CG, TRADOC specifies our doctrine, tactics,
organization, and equipment and routinely inspects to
assure compliance.

* We remain the means to develop/assess combat
proficiency in the mid/high band of full spectrum
operations.

* The NTC OPFOR has become capabilities-based,
more unpredictable, more flexible, and easily
adaptable— essential changes to provide our soldiers a
realistic and relevant Threat

• We currently employ a broad range of "asymmetric"
